Group: Me, Max, Nat, Paddy, Eric, Amy J., Vi

Time: 5hr20

Vibes

A lovely day for a strong group, and a good strech for improving inters. Very tired all round afterwards. Not too much scraping!

Features

1. Triple Step - Rooster tail on triple 1 was just foam. River left after step 2 had an annoying rescue eddy - a line on the opposite side was a good idea.
2. Letterbox Hug the left wall and you'll be fine. The siphon on river right is easily guarded. The feature is a retentive hole, as per usual
3. Ski-Jump - 30 - 40 cm left of the outcrop/ledge. This rock was slightly underwater, but visible. Autoboof.
4. Crack of Doom - Awkward entry, grabby on the rail. Left on entry, left at exit. Consider livebait safety in the crack.
5. Crack of Dawn - Porage seal launch on the left. You could paddle over the portage line (I did). It's an awkward bottleneck for a large group. It's worth holding people as they get in their boats on the seal launch
6. Right Angle - Go slightly left.

Other Notes

Lots of boulder gardens and bimbles to be careful of that can induce swims, especially if people are getting tired. Especially between crack of dawn and right angle.
